New product idea

Post by langj »

Well I went to go flying on Sunday. It's been really hot and we have been getting thunderstorms in the late afternoon so I woke up at 5 am with my son and headed to the airport. Preflight the airplane, and discover that someone left the master switch on and now the plane has a dead battery. With no way to charge the battery quickly ( I would have to wait for someone to drive over get the charger and open the cowl wait for a good enough charge) before the weather came in. I decided to abandon the flight. Why is it if I leave a light in my car on it automatically shuts off the power so as not to drain the battery but no one has come up whith the same for an airplane. Being that I fly rentals this has happened to me several times. It's really annoying.
